“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” – Proverbs 4:23

Words of wisdom: “guard your heart” -like a soldier guards a gate and does not allow enemies to come in. Like a prison guard that does not allow prisoners to escape. We are to guard our hearts from what goes in and what goes out of it. Jesus said “out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” We can learn a lot about ourselves by listening to our words. When I listen to my words, if for the most part they’re not good; I must be mindful of what enters through my ears (what I listen to) and through my eyes (what I see). These are the influences in my life. There are areas I can manage such as: television shows I watch, what I listen to on the radio, and who I spend my time with. This will change what I take in and positively affect what comes out, my words and deeds. The past Sunday, we learned about surrounding ourselves with the right people. Let’s begin to apply that lesson this week.

MONDAY

Ask God to show you ways to guard your heart. Pray for the initiative to take the steps necessary to become better.

Today, we pray to become better stewards of the finances that God has given us.

WEDNESDAY

Family

We continue to pray for the spiritual well-being of our families. Let us pray for unity within each of our families.

Continue to pray for the Church, especially through this series on the heart. God will use it to teach us to guard our hearts.

I believe God will help us fill the Church with new souls. Let us pray for those lost souls in Miami as we inch closer to having the new Church building.
